Temple Construction Begins
3 Then Solomon began to build the house of the LORD in Jerusalem on Mount Moriah, where the LORD had appeared [fn] to his father David. This was the place that David had prepared on the threshing floor of Ornan [fn] the Jebusite. 2 Solomon began construction on the second day of the second month in the fourth year of his reign.
3 The foundation that Solomon laid for the house of God was sixty cubits long and twenty cubits wide,[fn] according to the old standard.[fn] 4 The portico at the front, extending across the width of the temple, was twenty cubits long [fn] and twenty cubits high.[fn] He overlaid the inside with pure gold.
3:1 See LXX; Hebrew where He had appeared
3:1 Ornan is a variant of Araunah; see 2 Samuel 24:16.
3:3 The foundation was approximately 90 feet long and 30 feet wide (27.4 meters long and 9.1 meters wide).
3:3 The old standard of measurement was a cubit equal to 18 inches or 45.7 centimeters. The new standard, a cubit of approximately 21 inches or 53.3 centimeters (the long cubit) is the basic unit of length throughout Ezekiel 40 to 48.
3:4 20 cubits is approximately 30 feet or 9.1 meters; also in verses 8, 11, and 13.
3:4 Some LXX and Syriac manuscripts; Hebrew 120 cubits high (approximately 180 feet or 54.9 meters)
